shroud ourselves in the cosmos; let the music play

Well, thank you! I’m excited to get to write these situations and headcanons :)

Let’s goooooooo

I’ve always thought Echo would enjoy a club and this is no exception. He loves the bass and loud music and the energy of the room. He loves dancing and singing with everyone it’s a fun time. Boy loves a party.

Teases the hell out of everyone else. He has a lot of fun poking at them over it. How do you just find random people attractive? Is that a thing? Not even a standard six months of friendship first? Yeah, that’s not real.

Is polite when he turns people down but will snap if someone is too pushy. Has had to tell off someone for continuing to touch him when he has said not to at least three times. He has no qualms with telling anyone ‘no’ and it better get respected.

Watches Fives get absolutely love sick over three different people in one night and is like ‘why are you like this?’ which Fives responds to with ‘when you’re this beautiful you have to be open to anything’ and Echo is like ‘…….you mean when you’re this thirsty’ and then they bicker on the way home.

Echo is a question asker. He doesn’t just not understand or not get something and leave it at that. He has to know the details. He has to know why. So the first few times he watches everyone chatting and being interested in strangers he needs answers. The ‘debriefs’ after those first nights out are just him and Fives yapping about their different feelings on this and how Fives is kind of just down for anything and anyone and Echo is like ‘oh… ooooh’ and they find out they are both wildly different in this respect

But he is an excellent wingman regardless of not wanting to do the same. He will hang around and be funny and charming and anytime someone is starting to get maybe a bit too interested he doesn’t the whole ‘oh, have you met Fives?’ Talks him up and then grabs him and is like ‘you’re welcome’

Every time he’s gone to a club with Cody he is baffled by this man’s game. He is so charming and funny and he drops the professionalism and lets loose???? Cody???? Loves going with him because Cody doesn’t often leave with anyone he just likes to flirt and dance and then he’s like idk man I just didn’t find anyone that was right. Then spends the rest of the night talking about all the cool things Obi-Wan did on their last mission and how nice he is and how funny and on and on and on. Echo likes listening to him yap after a night out. Let’s Cody lay his head in his lap and just lets him talk.

When out with Rex they just hang out with each other. They watch the drinks of whoever is off tearing it up on the dance floor and they keep tabs on everyone but when they’re out together they mostly just talk. And then after a few drinks they’re both going all out in the middle of the crowd dancing like no one else is there and then it is Fives and/or Cody who have to make sure they don’t break a bone or start a fight. Fun times with those two together.

It’s a little off to the left of what you sent but my brain is taken by the Cody and Echo one so I’m gonna write a little about that:

“And then he flipped the tank over which was so cool and then it exploded, can you believe that?”

“Mmhmm,” Echo smiled as he hummed, looking down at Cody, running his fingers through the curls that were pillowed on his lap. It wasn’t often that Cody would talk so openly about his general - Obi-Wan - so when he did it was nice to have a front row seat.

“Oh! Then he was talking to the animals with his mind somehow? Or controlling them! I don’t know,” Cody gestured with his hands then let them flop down onto his stomach. His bright eyes were only more prominent against his booze-flushed skin, and they searched Echo’s face. “Are you laughing at me?”

Ever the observer.

“I wouldn’t dare.” Echo shook his head but didn’t bother to hide the smile. Cody’s expression turned grumpy but he still kept some of that grin he’d been sporting regardless. Echo tapped the end of his nose to be a bother, but Cody didn’t even bother trying to wave him away.

“If you had Obi-Wan as a general, you’d get it.” He reached up to try to boop Echo’s nose but he wasn’t coordinated enough to make it so he ended up coming him in the cheek instead.

“I don’t think I would, actually.” He replied, gripping Cody’s hand to pull it away, resting their clasped hands on Cody’s stomach again. The other man pondered it, playing with Echo’s fingers now that he had something else to focus on.

“Yeah, I don’t think you would either. That’s good, though because your general is Anakin and just no-”

Echo laughed so hard he thought his cheeks hurt.

1. Check that you have good access to shade trees, a shelter custom made to fit you and all your friends, and plenty of good airflow

2. Find the hottest, sunniest, and least windy part of you pasture and lay down

3. Make sure you look as much as possible like you have died of heatstroke

4. Get your friends in on it

"Us? Oh, of *course* our Dachshund sleeps inside- we just let him out in the morning and make sure he comes back for dinner. He just does his own thing, no worries."

"Um, you know it's not humane to keep a chihuahua confined to an apartment? They're dogs, they're natural predators. They need to experience hunting behaviors or they get depressed. No we don't leash ours, he absolutely hates it, we just let him come and go whenever."

Yall get how fucking stupid that sounds, right? So stop letting your goddamn cats get eaten and attacked and infected and hit by cars

A toddler would probably love full unattended access to the neighborhood too, but we don't do that either, do we

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.

Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.

All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.

After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.

It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.

And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.

The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.

Right now, the AFN is currently accepting donations to help Collins First Nation. If you're able to, please consider donating.

ONWA (Ontario Native Women's Association) is another great place to donate to. They have outreach vans going to motels and inns and offering food, water, resources, and cultural support to those impacted by the wildfires.

Other places to consider donating to are Mikinakoos Emergency Fund, Red Cross, True North Aid, Indigenous Climate Action. You can also send donations directly to Whitesand First Nation via e-transfer ([email protected]) and they request that you add your full name in the e-transfer comment section to receive a tax receipt.

*Before sending money, verify that the appeal appears on an official First Nation, Tribal Council or registered charity channel.
